    People can say what they want about Penn. I hope he chokes Edgar unconscious. And what he said about JT was kinda true. Just like when Lesnar is in the headlines lots of people from the pro wrestling community are tunning in. Well this is the first time the Boxing community is really tunning into MMA. It should be huge. I'm hyped as hell for Saturday night. Thanks for the vid boxingcar.

    when BJ pulled the greasegate thing i really hated his attitude towards loosing
    he really seems different in this interview
    has he really changed or is he more conscious of his public image taking a beating


    i still say hes full of **** but i respect his skills

    Toney and Penn are actually of a similar build. That is how fat Toney is now.

    I've seen Penn listed as 5'9" with a 70" reach. I've seen Toney listed as 5'9" with a 72" reach.

    I've posted this picture in another thread. It is of 25 year old, 160 lb. title holder, James Toney.

    Penn is a great fighter. How well would he do at heavyweight?

    yeah lol penn at heavyweight

    whats funny is that he once fought machida &
    Machida fought at a weight of 102 kg (220 lb). Penn weighed in at 86.5 kg (191 lb)

    maybe he CAN stretch it out to heavy who knows :p

    :yep Absolutely my favorite MMA fighter of all time. Nick Diaz is anther of my favorite fighters but BJ is a prodigy in this sport. Just an incredible talent. Similar to james he has had some disipline issues when in camp. But even with that he's still better than most even on his worse day.

    Ill put it this way, He was the first one of his kind. Sick striker and even sicker BJJ.

    :rofl The dude seems a bit "smug" like he's talking down to the fighters. He'd get his ass handed to him just for being him if he wasn't on camera!:lol: Nah...the kid seems nice but he does come off like a ***** at times.
